It's Not a Crib Quilt Anymore...
 

I started this thread when I had put together a bunch of rejected audition blocks: http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...t-t173278.html It was a crib size, and I asked if it would be appropriate for a baby.

I had some fabric left over and decided that I would put a scrappy checkerboard border around it to make it into a lap-size quilt. I'm going to put it over my couch in the living room. The blues match my wall pretty well.

This is the first quilt that I did all of the quilting on my domestic machine. It's mostly stitch-in-the-ditch, but I did timidly venture into a bit of free motion. The vine was fun to do. I may try feathers on my next quilt. :)

THAT my dear, is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! WoW! Love the colors you used and the way you put it all together...it would have been such a waste in a crib! Love it on your sofa!

I really, really like it. Pretty design too. You did good! Barny

Wow!! Your quilt is great. I love the way it is off balance in design. It almost looks like a huge compass in the middle of a group of constellations. Great design. Your quilting is great too. Congrats!

I'm glad it found a home on your couch ... it is a beautifully creative pattern in superb colors and the stitching is fantastic! :thumbup:

It turned out great but i'll bet that baby is going to be cold without a quilt.. LOL

That looks gorgeous over your couch. I really like the blues and browns together. Peggy

Now thats one to be very proud of!!! It's Beautiful.!

That turned out soooo nice!

Beautiful!!!!!

Very nice!

It is pretty and coordinates well with your wall. Congratulations on starting to free motion. I haven't dared yet.

All I can say is. "WOW".

Is there a pattern for it? I really think it is a neat quilt and I'm making graduation quilts (3 this year for gkids).

Looks absolutely amazing on your couch. You did a fabulous job making it into a lap quilt. It's right where it belongs!

That turned out fab.

Very nicely done!!!

Your quilt looks great. All the colors in your room look good together. Nice job!

Very, very pretty!! Love the color and design.

looks real good

Oh so pretty!You would never know it had been leftover blocks!

Wow!!! I love the layout and the colors...AWW heck...I like it all!!! Thank you for sharing it with us.

Missed the earlier posts re your quilt. It's beautiful. Is it your own design? It's very artistic and yet traditional.

Wow, so neat! I really like the stars extending into the inner border.

Beautiful quilt that does go with your room perfectly!

LOL! :) That baby will just have to come over to my house and snuggle with me on the couch!

No pattern... I just rearranged the rejected audition blocks until I liked the design. There were alot of four-inch blocks left over because I couldn't make up my mind on which fabrics to use where on the original quilt.

Wow! Three graduation quilts! I'd never get them finished in time. Godspeed!

Are you asking if the original quilt from my earlier post is my own design.? Yes, the original quilt is made up of alternating Garden Square blocks and a variation of 54/40 or Fight blocks. This lap quilt is a combination of four-inch leftover audition blocks from that project.

It is beautiful. I love the colors and the back and the quilting looks grat. Super nice job. Wow

I really like the color combinations you used in this quilt and it is very striking. Good job all around.
